2017
The beginning of this year proved to be one of the most difficult and crazy times for me at a personal level. It got so bad that I finally decided to tackle something I had not done before – unclutter fully at an emotional level, figure out who I am and what I want, then rebuild from the inside out.
And so I began a journey of inner exploration and created a holistic life plan. I defined success for me along with my priorities. I then matched that against how I actually spend my time and energy and aligned accordingly. Then I began breaking down the plan in pieces and tackling it head on!
To learn more about this process and a ‘how to guide’ on how to do something similar yourself, go here.
And so, for 2017+, my life plan and focus will be on the following areas, with the caveat that I reserve the right to change my mind at any moment:
This hard work and focus has paid off substantially; I have never experienced such personal transformation! I am probably in the most peaceful (light!) and happy place I have ever been in decades. Of course there are always ups and downs, but I feel I now have the tools and habits to keep me going.

I can soooooo relate! My blog content has drastically decreased this year. Mainly because I have taken on other projects that have consumed a lot of time. Sometimes I feel guilty but mostly I am just living my life and then I pop back in when I have something to say. Sounds like you are giving a lot of thought to how you want to live and trying not to focus to much on FI. A noble pursuit, but one that takes plenty of time.

Ah the guilt – we get it from everywhere, for being women, moms, of certain religion, or certain origin ;). No more of that! Here is to living and also reaching our goals!
